If he did meet somebody else and forgot about her than obviously they were never meant to be in the first place. See my point?
Could you be any more naive?
Could you be any more cynical?
Could you be any more irritating?
S3Escape from Witch Island
Hey, once upon a time, you yourself told me that some love stories never end. What happened to that girl?
She offered herself to the boy she loved. The boy she thought loved her back. And he rejected her.
[about having sex] Well, alright then. Okay. [pause] Did you want to do it right now?
Umm, do you?
I'm kinda tired, actually.
Oh, fine. Roswell's on in five minutes anyway. You just let me know when you want to do it and I'll do it.
I've got to say, Blair Witch didn't do it for me. I wasn't remotely scared, that girl was irritating beyond measure and i had to run to the snack bar in dire need of dramamine.
I was scared...
That's no surprise there, Potter, after all you are quite the skittish kitten.
S3Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
[Pacey and Jen are grocery shopping for Grams' thanksgiving feast]
When I suggested that we hook up today, this is not exactly what I had in mind.
Believe me, I know, but unfortunatly, Grams' Thanksgiving feast takes precedence over our burgeoning sex life.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't actually have a sex life yet, do we?
What, and you think that that's my fault?
Yeah, i do actually think that that's your fault.
I'm sorry, Pacey. I just find it difficult to watch you paw at me with...[giggles]
Foreplay is no laughing matter. How do you expect a guy to do his best work in the face of scorn and derision?
It's just that we're friends, right? And seeing as how we are friends, but now we're friends that...do that... it's just gonna take time getting used to it. Although maybe we could find a moment later?
I can't. I think I have to go to my parents' for Thanksgiving.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I have to. I figure it's the right thing to do seeing as they brought me into the world and all.
You sound so excited.
Well it's such a joyous occasion. Just imagine the Witter women slaving over a hot stove all afternoon just to be told the Butterball is too dry, by a guy sitting on his derrière, getting drunk and watching football.
Well, despite the creamed onions, gotta love Grams for offering an alternative.
You do. Speaking of, you know, you never told me who else is coming.
Don't worry, Pacey. Andie politely declined the invite.
Hey I wasn't going there.
Please. I think that she's making dinner for Jack and her dad tonight.
Sounds nice. It's good for her to have family at Thanksgiving.
Come here [she pulls him close]
[smelling her hair and rubbing her back] Good lord, you smell good. [Jen chuckles] What was that? [she starts laughing] Oh, come on!
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
We're all strangers to our parents. I mean, they love us but they don't really know us. And sometimes, before we get a chance to know them, they're gone.
[to Jen] For what it's worth, as a guy who has just gone through this himself, what just happened to you is a defining moment. When you come to see your parents as human beings, with their own problems, it is, oddly, kind of liberating. And when you realize they're way more messed up than you are, it's not worth your time or energy to go on despising them for it.
S3Four to Tango
[after making out with Pacey] Nothing?
Nothing, you?
Nothing, God Pacey this is weird.
It's the damnedest thing. How are we supposed to have some lurid, purely sexual affair when every time we get together...?
There's no sexual tension.
Nada.
Zilch.
It seems to me that under the previous regimes in my life, every time I was studying, I was given a reward.
I offered you Chex Mix.
And I'm not talkin' about Chex Mix. I'm talking about Tamara, and I'm talking about Andie. Let's just say that those 2 ladies, they trained me to equate studying with...
With what?
Sex. I equate studying with sex, sex with studying. Now I get the studying, but no sex, you understand? So it's a little hard to get motivated these days.
So what you're saying is you're merely the innocent victim in some behavioral psychology experiment gone horribly awry.
Yeah.
And you're desperately in need of some able-bodied female to help you provoke those pre-conditioned Pavlovian homework responses?
Yes.
That is the worst pick-up line I have ever heard, Pacey.
And what pray tell, are you two doing here?
Just enjoying the fine art of ball room dancing.
PPenny
[Walking up] Didn't I say you two would be naturals? Much better than these two and they've been here all week. But you used to date, didn't you?
Uh...look, not right now, okay?
PPenny
I'm right, aren't I? You dated, it didn't work out. But then you got past all your issues and now you actually trust each other, right? See, you can see that in the dancing. You can see, that the trust is there. Now these two on the other hand...[Points out Pacey and Joey dancing] Whole different story. I mean, look at them. Look at their..their form, look at the tension in their arms...
Okay is there some sort of problem here?
PPenny
What did I say about rib cages touching?
No, sorry.
It's just not going to happen, alright?
PPenny
Right...see what I mean? See the hostility, the way they're weary with each other, not to mention the constant bickering and name calling. Now these two clearly are in the early stages of some screwball mating ritual.
What?
[Scoffs] Okay, you've got it all wrong, lady.
PPenny
Really? I do?
Oh, completely.
Actually, you could not be more wrong.
PPenny
Okay. There's enough sexual tension here to power a KISS reunion tour. I can't remember the last time I saw dancing this bad....true...
Wait a minute, you think that just because they can't dance that they're...?
PPenny
Well, it's this theory that I've developed based on years of experience...if people dance that badly, then they're usually hot for each other...the dancing doesn't lie.
Okay, so... Do you want to just tell me what's going on?
It's not what you think, Dawson, not even close.
How do you know what I think?
Well, because man it's written all over your face, okay? Yes, me and Joey have been spending a lot of time together recently, because we've been here trying to learn how to ballroom dance and then she's teaching me a little trigonometry. You know what's much more interesting to me is that out of all the possible blond and brunette combinations, of women you and I both know, the first one that popped into your mind is Joey, now why is that, do you think?
Pacey, you're not going to get out of this by attempting to psychoanalyze me.
I'm just asking a simple question. I mean, Dawson, you and Joey...she's not your girlfriend anymore.
Right, she's not.
Right...so then why are we having this conversation? See where I'm going with this? I mean, you're the same guy who told me a couple weeks ago that the two of you just needed to go your separate ways.
Yeah, we do need to go our separate ways, it just never occurred to me that...
That what? That she would actually go her separate way too...or perhaps it didn't occur to you that her separate way would include a stop over at me, is that what it is? God, man, this is the way it always is with you, you talk and talk but you don't listen to yourself. I mean, you say you're over her, but you're not. They're just words. They don't mean anything to you.
You don't know what you're talking about.
[Scoffs and turns and gestures over at Joey, who is dancing with an old man] Look at that girl, Dawson. Just take a good look, she's a freaking goddess, man, how long did you think it was going to be before some guy comes along and is interested in her, I mean really dude, and when that happens, what are you going to do?
I-I'm just going to take it all as it comes.
You're going to take is at it comes, hombre, well perhaps you should start figuring out right now, because the guy that comes along is not going to be your best friend and he's not going to ask for your permission, the guy that comes along is going to take one look at that woman and just cut right in on ya.
What are you hiding, Pacey?
What?
Because all this analysis on my love life doesn't change the fact that you haven't answered my original question, why did I find that condom?
Why do I bother? [Turns around and walks away]
You went to Joey for advice about us?
Yeah. I know, not so smart, huh?
Smart or not smart, it's just...funny, you went to her.
Well, I wouldn't say that I went to her. I mean, she just kind of happened to be there, we were studying.
Can I ask you something, Pacey? What is it about her?
Huh?
She's obviously got something that makes boys and emotional turmoil just flock to her.
Come again?
Come on, Dawson's the same way. Whatever small problem got to him he went straight to Joey.
So who else would you have me talk to? I can't exactly go to Andie with something like this, so I guess I'm supposed to commune with deputy Doug then?
Dawson. Why couldn't you just go to Dawson?
[Chuckles] What?
Unless, of course you now feel uncomfortable talking to him about your sex like considering...
Considering what?
That your current girl Friday used to be his.
[scoffs] Okay, now correct me if I'm wrong, but Dawson Leery didn't actually know about you and I till, what? Two minutes ago.
I'm not talking about us.
What, Joey? This has nothing to do with Joey!
Pacey, I saw the way you overreacted to Dawson, I saw the way that Joey overreacted to us. I know you're having trouble in math these days, but it doesn't take Einstein to get the sum total of these two overreactions.
You're gonna have to explain this one to me, because I've gotta be missing something here, you're talking about Joey Potter, right, the one who can't walk into the same room with me without gagging, huh? That Joey Potter. There is nothing going on between us!
No, Pacey there's nothing between us!
S3First Encounters of the Close Kind
AAJ
Would it be alright if I were to, you know, phone you sometime?
It wouldn't suck.
S3Barefoot at Capefest
That was beautiful. It was more than beautiful, it was awesome. I didn't know you could sing.
I think we've established there's a lot you don't know about me.
Henry, wait for me.
Why?
Because I wanted to talk to you.
You can't keep doing this to me.
Doing what?
You can't keep trying to be my friend, and then pushing me away every time my feelings start to scare you.
Okay, I admit it. I miss you. I miss the goofy way you used to look at me with all that passion and intensity. It made me feel like I was actually worth the fuss.
Everyday I thought about you, and dreamed about you. Every time I saw you, I lost myself. Do you even know what that's like? Do you?
No.
Then you can't know what it's like to have that person not feel the same way back. I'm sorry you miss the way I looked at you, but I don't miss the way you never looked at me.
